Merry Christmas to my dearest friends,

Living on different and beautiful Lands!

Merry Christmas to all – big and small!

Merry Christmas to you and you, and you!

To all those who say more often “hello” than “adieu”.

The 22nd of December

 

The longest night,

 The shortest day

 The 22nd of December.

 The Sun turns into another way

 Putting more warmth into the amber,

 Into the humans hearts that pray

 For love, for peace, for happiness,

 For Merry Christmas!

 The Sun has got its own reasons

 To differentiate the seasons.

Tango

 

The beginning is timid
time has not any limit.
magic movements are slow,
we dance the tango of love.

It's the music of feelings,
bliss and passion revealing,
dance of flight and explosion
of hidden love.

When we part it’s only for a moment
Dance of love will never end, be sure.

The beginning is timid
and it's not so vivid,

The Trumpeter

 

The war was all around

And the city was small.

The doctors laughed at him,

He was not like de Gaulle.

 

Well, may be the trumpeter?

OK, trumpeter, as a trumpeter!

 

Being a trumpeter is so good,

At least you don’t have to bow.

The bullets whistle over your head,

As the winds sometimes blow.

 

But why it happened like that?

How Many Questions Our Life Arise?

 

Not looking at anybody doesn’t mean not to see,

To do the things you like doesn’t mean to be free.

To be at the very verge of life doesn’t mean to die.

And standing on the ground doesn’t mean not to fly.

And how much to pepper so that all could be well?

And how much to sugar to sweeten  the hell?

To live a normal life doesn’t mean not to dream.

But how long to ...

Today all talk a lot about Pussy Riot,

The girls from Russia that couldn’t keep quiet.

OK, I agree! It’s their right to fight

With the things they don’t like.

Even when you have to take a gun,

But … sorry to say that,

The crystal city is shivering,
The unreal smoke is delivering,
An Easter Angel is flying,
It hardly goes to spring.
The matter comes to the strings,
To the old tales that eternity brings.

It rains as in a sleep.

The sun is between the scapulas,

And will walk on the edge of blades.

A Long Life Road

 

Our life is a real drama

In such a colorful gamma.

Our life is just a moment,

Sometimes with a torment.

Just have enough patience

To keep good relations,

To love truly and forgive.

But today I cried away.

Someone thought it was a shame,

Someone comforted, didn’t blame,

Someone said: life goes on,

An Ideal Husband

 

An ideal husband doesn’t argue,

He never squabbles or swears,

Only about his wife he cares.

 

He always says kind words,

Doesn’t do anything that hurts.

 

Doesn’t play cards or guzzles away money,

Days and nights repeats: You are my honey!

 

Out of the rest he is much wiser,

He is not poor or a miser.

 

In all he is good and so nice,

Odessa.

Early morning.

Sonia is yawning.

Her dressing gown is satiny.

This night was just a symphony

in a company of her Antonie.

All they did was in such a harmony.

With those thoughts she went to the balcony.

But … suddenly she has heard a noise.

It sounded with an irony.

It was her neighbor’s voice.

How few of men with whom you cherish silence

And go for the longest walk

To feel the natures fragrance.

So that do not spill the beans when you are in grief.

How few of men which could be a reliance

And do not steal your credit as a thief.

If apple-trees blossom on Mars,

No more wars, no more killed soldiers,
And only Madonna tenderly cradle her dears.
